He rolled his ankle after coming down on the foot of Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo in the third quarter but remained in the game, finishing with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
"He should be able to go," Toronto coach Dwane Casey said in his media availability two hours before tipoff.
That was confirmed when the starting lineup was released.
Ibaka tested his ankle prior to Tuesday's game. He had taken part in the morning shootaround after missing practices Sunday and Monday.
